In the Netherlands Amazon Prime has been launched as well. I was just looking into it. The first hurdle is the primary payment method for internet orders is unavailable. IDeal is used in 90% of internet transactions in the Netherlands, more than half of the people here do not have (or want) a credit card.
Additionally Playsation 3 and 4 apps have not been launched and chromecast support is not available yet, no ETA either.
This in contrast to the cairfull launch of Netflix years ago. IDeal and apps were available from day one. Netflix had a serious market share in just one month!
In my work I have been encountering ransomeware at client computers for some years now (fake police type mostly). The news about cryptoransomeware has been flooding around longer but last year was it popped up on my watch. This year it popped up more. Most got away ok with backups/cloud sync or it started encrypting files that were not that important. Only one has payed and reversed the encryption (before consulting me).
This is not yet a flood but I suspect it will get worse and someone without backups will be encrypted and the price will be too high or the unencryption key will not be delivered.
My uncle experienced this problem with our last name: Blank.
When filling out a form it returned with an error: Last name cannot be left blank.
This is still a running joke in our family. Never experienced it myself.
It is the max # of chars on other media that makes people "efficient" in their communication. In 200 years misguided historians who mix and match decades will point out a 100 Mb drive costs about 200 dollars.
Next year the Reb Bull F1 team will drive with Renault engines rebadged as TAG Heuer ( https://www.formula1.com/conte... ). Perhaps they are already ramping up production to meet demand.
I think the houses are expensive, this was one of the causes of the ghost town problem. Rich people buy a 2nd house as an investment but do not live in them. This drives prices up. People with an average income are unable to buy or rent at those prices.
This, really when the business is changing all the time and when data is pulled for one manager for a report that will be used for only a couple of months.
Perhaps it is not perfect, perhaps is is only 70 percent ok. But having 70 in 2 hours only to te discarted in 6 months is better than 100 percent ok after one year.
I think as a whole they are extremely redundant. Like off site redundancy for servers. Strapping two shoeboxes together would make less sense as stereo vision does not add much at this distance (i presume but have not researched)
Extreme measures have extreme disadvantages.
After 9/11 pilots were given the ability to lock their cabin to prevent terrorists from taking a plane. The Germanwings incident show this locks out the good people as well.
Preventing encryption will be celebrated by terrorists, they could gain much more knowledge from plain data in transmissions.
Ever since Windows 7 pc's have been loaded with crapware and "enhancing experience" so hard it slows new pc's to a crawl. Almost every OEM has customer feedback background service that does not turn off after answering the user does not want to participate.
For all customers I wipe pc's and install it with an MSDN downloaded installation before it is first booted. This has included lenovo machines in the last years. Glad to see I was right to do so.
I have access to MSDN If you do not and download elswhere, please compare hashes of downloaded and Original iso files, you do not want to replace your OEM crapware by other malware.
pro tip, your windows 8(.1) windows key is stored in the bios and not on a sticker. this can be recovered with "rw-everything", microsoft has official dummy keys you can use while installing (but will not work to activate)
The internet answer is to always have redundancy. have one shitty solution (like hard drives that fail often) then N+1 this solution. So implement RAID 4 Power, deploy shitty aboveground power cables, just do many of them!
As a group we visit the local cinema almost every week. Two things that help make this a good experience is 1. wednesdays are almost always quiet. 2. my local theater invests quite a lot to keep up. Digital projectors from an early generation are already replaced by new ones, the sound system has always been high quality and has now been replaced by dolby 7.1 on half of the "rooms" (don't know the correct english word).
We are still lobbying HFR but this seems one investment not worth it due to the lack of content
Sometimes when i visit an other cinema the experience is indeed horrible.
The thing about the extremes of positive and negative stories..
Dystopian = everything is rotten, yet there is some hope
Utopian = everything seems perfect at first, yet these is something is deepely wrong in the background.
Now what is the positive story? The reader decides to focus on positive or negative overall aspects.
Take a utopian version of hunger games. The main character of hunger games. She grows up in the capital. There is welth and lots of great food, parties and everything. There is even a great yearly entertainment thing where less fortunate kids from the districts get the opertunity to show worrier skills and make themselves and their families rich. When she volentiers for a job to help these kids prepare (a job that can make you famous) the harsh reality becomes apparent. These kids and family are repressed and live awful lives just to make the life in the capital possible. When she tries to speak up she gets to feel just how awfull the powers in the can be, even her family and friends are punnished for her attempts to speak up.
Same world other view. In the end what story is more positive?
I have been looking into this type of 3d printers and there are many others. Most not as reproducable as the standard reprap fdm printers. This is why i am currently designing the reprap petri that will be reproducable when the design is done. Right now it is in early prototype phase and does not work.
Call me an addict, rarely a day passes without a couple of solves. I now own cubes from 2x2x2 up to 5x5x5. I will never be near the record solving times however I like it.
So not everyone is "still" an addict, some just got in. For me at age 31.
First. During my day job I frequently work with a professional 3d printer. As a hobby I own a Reprap (hobby 3d printer). I would describe myself as a 3d print enthousiast.
However I do not see 3d printers live up to the hype. the mantra: "Everyone will print everything in 3d from toys to funriture and a 3d steak". My argument is new technology does not replace everything else there was before. People still walk/ride bikes/take a car/boat/train because planes and helicopters excist (who would have thought)! My opinion: Some things will be printed such as unique small items and parts to repair stuff. And the 3d printed steak.. not going to happen. We already have vega-meat-replacement nobody calls them steaks.
One example what it is usefull for. I am currently printing a lense cap holder to snap two caps on a strap. This needs to be printed because almost noboby had a 71mm and a 57mm cap. I print this because it will never excist as a product.
NAT is a band aid. It works mostly.
However you can have the carrier grade NAT I have on my cell Phone any day! it is the future for the next 30 years.
It is a band aid over a band aid and we will all have it.
I really hope the NAT stuff is here to stay for backwards compatibility but also really hope for the already available real solution to become widespread in the next 3 to 5 years, not 30.

The redundant article can only truely be redundant when it will be posted as redundant as this in a redundant dupe in a day or two..

Yes but 3 kids before a divorce is less common. Divorced households l hold 0.5 to 1 children.

Lets hope the (Original) programmer documented all malicious behaviour and settings.
To add to this: Mocking the only nation currently capable of bringing humans to the iss for their incompetence seems odd..
You can bet the Simpsons articles will be analysed and will be cited. Number of citations might also include often used examples of a failure.
They also should also rename them to spoilers!

While I am able to read both Dutch and English this still does not make sense. I call fruitcake (fruit substituted by herbs)
